The 26th annual North Carolina Seafood Festival continues Sunday with a final day of family fun and seafood to feast on along the
Morehead
City
waterfront.

The festival has grown into the second largest in the state and celebrates seafood with streets lines with 60 food vendors, many community groups serving up shrimp, crab, clams, oysters, fish and other tastes from the sea to raise funds for their groups. There are also rides, arts and crafts vendors and entertainment.

Sunday opens with the Blessing of the Fleet at
10 a.m.
at the state port to pay tribute to the commercial fishing industry. Vendors and rides are open on the waterfront from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. All stages and the children’s area are open until 4 p.m.

Highlights include the opportunity to ride the rides all day for $25. And at the Cooking with the Chefs Tent the Carolina Shrimp-N-Grits Competition will be going on from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with area chef competing for a people’s choice award.
